自行飞车的制造者是两名英国人:37岁的约翰-福顿和42岁的亚尼克-里德,他们说设计Paravelo的灵感来自于儿时骑单车的经历。自行飞车售价1万英镑,但他们相信这项发明能给人们的上班方式带来革命性转变。
Mr Fordon said: ‘We were enchanted by the connection between cycling and the birth of powered flight – the Wright brothers were former bicycle mechanics – so we designed the Paravelo to recapture that pioneering era.’
福顿先生说:“我们对自行车和动力飞行器之间的联系非常着迷——发明飞机的怀特兄弟以前就是修自行车的——所以我们设计了Paravelo,重现他们那段开拓创新的时代。”
The Paravelo comes with a GPS tracker to plot its movements, and flying it does not require a pilot’s licence. The inventors hope the Paravelo will become a mainstream form of transport, and claim it costs the same as a small family car to run.
自行飞车上装有全球定位装置,据此可以调整飞行方式,而且无需飞行员驾照就能直接上手。Paravelo的设计者希望它能成为主流交通工具之一,还说它的价格和小型家庭轿车相差无几。
They say it is ideal for commuting as it can be folded away in a compact space, such as an office. The Paravelo’s development was supported by the Environmental Transport Association.
两位设计者称,这辆自行飞车十分适合远程上下班,因为它可以折叠,能放在诸如办公室一类的狭小空间中。这项发明还获得了环境运输协会的大力支持。
